Palm Pre Might Not Be Priced Into Oblivion After All [Rumor]
Gizmodo — ... is obviously the story here, as the on-contract price the most important, referenced one for any handset. But don't ignore the $399 price either—that's less than many no-contract BlackBerrys and WinMo phones, and the same price as the G1 developer model. All this sounds like it could conceivably be true, and if Palm wants their new handset to make any waves (or more urgently, save their entire company) then they should make it true. [Mobile Review via Unwired View—Thanks, Stasys!] ...

mocoNews — ... ) are considering either $399 or $499 for the handset without a contract, and $149 or $199 for the handset with a contract reports UnwiredView. Mobile Review also puts the initial production run for the third quarter at 200,000 units, with the "the expectation that a very positive reception of the handset, combined with the shortages will fuel the demand as production volumes increase".
